Around 4.5 miles northwest of our Battersea kitchen, roughly 25 minutes by car.
See our menuShepherd's Bush packs a lot into W12: the green at its centre, a Japanese garden hiding behind the old BBC buildings, and a cluster of genuinely good independent cafes on the quieter streets off the Uxbridge Road. V&Me delivers here daily - meals cooked fresh each morning in our Battersea kitchen, on your doorstep before 10am.
The spots we hear parents come back to, week after week.
A joyful Antipodean-style neighbourhood cafe with great coffee, kiwi treats and one of the friendliest teams in west London. A local staple for a reason.
A small corner cafe with beautiful brunches, sublime coffee and a welcoming crew - it fills up fast at weekends, so go early with the pram.
A gorgeous Persian cafe under the Wood Lane arches near Westfield, with generous sharing breakfasts and a warm, unhurried atmosphere.
Because sometimes the best thing you can do all day is get outside.
A hidden gem behind the old BBC Television Centre with a Japanese garden, tennis courts, picnic lawns and a good play area - quiet, pretty and rarely crowded.
A well-kept local park off Bloemfontein Road with two separate children's playgrounds, big grassy areas and mature trees for summer shade.
A short hop south towards Hammersmith and worth it: one of west London's best family parks, with a paddling pool, sandpit, multiple playgrounds and a cafe.
“Really great service - the menu updates at the start of each week, delivery is speedy and punctual, and the food is varied enough that our hungry little one never gets bored.”
